Sofia with F
Artist Statement:
“Hola! I’m Sofia With F (she/her), a queer Spanish graphic designer and illustrator based in the UK. Raised on fanzines and concert ephemera, I have a deep love (borderline obsession) for all things print, publishing, and drawing. Influenced by DIY, I bring human and tangible qualities into everything I make.
My illustrative work is expressive and linear: it conveys humour, energy, and above all, fun. The distinctive rough-and-ready sketches capture the ephemeral snippets and environments that form part of the everyday — they celebrate the ordinary in all its glory.
When I’m not drawing or reading, you can find me at a museum, in a mosh pit, or trying not to fall at the skate park”
